SPECIFICATION vforming part of Letters Patent No. 393,098, dated November 20, 1888.

(No model .l

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NIKoLAUs DILG, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fishing-Reel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved fishing-reel which is very simple and durable in construction, and in which the linecau be easily wound up or unwound or locked in place whenever desired.

The invention consists of certaiuparts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

Beference'is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a transverse section of the irnprovement. Fig. 2 is an inner face view of one side plate. Fig. 3 is a like view of the other side plate, and Fig. 4 is a face view of the line'reel.

The improved fishing reel A is provided with two side plates, B and C, connected with each other by transverse pins or braces, as is plainly shown in Fig. I. On the outside of the side plate B is secured the seat E, carrying, in the usual manner, the fishing-rod. (Not shown.) Betweenthe side plates, B and C, is placed the line-reel F, provided with the usual outwardlyextending annular flanges, F F', between which the line is held. rIhe outer ends of the flanges F iitin recesses B and C', formed on the inside of the plates B and C, respectively. By thus covering the outer ends of the flanges F the line is permitted to run freely off the reel without getting entangled between the anges of the reel and the side plates.

The reel F is provided in its middle with a transverse bushing, G, fitted loosely on the transverse shaft H, held in the side plate B,

is slotted on each side of the said boss to reduce its weight.

The gear-wheel J is provided with a hub, J extending through an aperture in the side plate C and carrying on its outer end a handle, N, secured by suitable means to the hub J. One face ofthe reel F is provided with two aunular recesses, Fz and F3, of which the former makes room for the bridge L and the latter 5o gives sufficient room for the gear-wheel J.

The shaft H projects beyond the face of the pinion I through the plate C, and is provided on this projecting end with a screw-thread engaging a winged nut, O, passing through the plate C and forming the support for said shaft in said plate. The inner end of the winged nut O is adapted to screw against the face of the pinion I, so as to brake the wheel whenever necessary. 7o

The operation is as follows: Vhen the several parts are in place, as shown in Fig. l, and the operator turns the handle N, the gear-wheel J on the inside of the side plate Gis set in motion, as the said handle N is fastened to the hub J of the said gear-wheel. The latter, on account of meshing into the pinion I, imparts a rotary motion to the reel F, as the said pinion I is formed on thebushingG,secured in the middle of the said reel. The latter turns 8c freely on the shaft II, so that the line can be easily wound on or unwound from the said reel F, according to the direction in which the handle N is turned. When the operator desires to brake the reel F, he screws the winged -nut O inward against the face of the pinion I,

so that the reel F is pressed tightly against the inside of the side plate B, whereby the reel is braked and a rapid unwinding or winding up of the line is prevented. 9o

It will be seen that the lishingreel is very simple in construction and has all of its gearing inside of the side plates out of sight, preventing the gear-wheels from being clogged up. It is understood that the braking ofthe wheel is sometimes necessary in order to check the speed of the reel, so as to tire the hooked fish. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a fishing-reel, the combination, with the side plates connected together, of the reel IOO proper,having one side recessed and journalcd between the said plates, a pinion secured to the reel, a gear-Wheel :mounted on the inside of one of the said plates, with its hub projecting through the said plate and meshing with the said pinion, and a handle on the end oi' the hub, substantially as described.

2. In a sliing-reel, the combination, with the side plates, B C, the plate C being provided with the bridge L, ol' the reel F, having the recesses F2 F3 in one of its faces and provided with the-bushing G, the transverse shaft II, passing through said bushing, the pinion I on one end of the said bushing, the pin K, secured in the bridge L, the gearwvheel J, mounted loosely on said pin and having its hub J projeeting through the side plate C, and the hanA dle N, secured to the said hub, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. In a shing-reel, the combination, with the side plates, B G, the rcel F, provided with the bushing G, and the pinion I on the said bushing,ofthe shaft I-I, having ascreW-threaded end passing through the bushing, the pinion and side plate C, and the winged nut O, passing through the plate C and screwing on the said shaft, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
